THE PROPOSED RAILROAD MEETING

THE PROPOSED RAILROAD MEETING
Every owner of property on Wood
River is interested in having one or
more competing lines Of railroad here.
Every property owner should there
fore take hold of the proposition ad-
vancsd by Dr. Leonard, to hold
meeting in HALEY next Monday or
Tuesday, for the purpose of appoint
ing committee to collect statistics
of production, probable traffic, cost of
building, routes, right-of- way, etc,
with the view of collating a report
which can be sent to the managers of
"Jim." Hills Manitoba or Montana
Central road.
That company's track will be com
pleted to Butte by next spring, and
its course thence to the Pacific Coast
is still undetermined. If we make
good showing, we can get it to cross
the Bitter Root mountains n ear Salmon
City, follow down the Salmon, across
the Sawtooth range, down Wood
River to Willow creek, and on to
Boise and the coast.
1t will not cost much to get up this
report-probably not over SO cents
per business house. There is there
fore no good reason why the meeting
should not be held, and an effort made
to secure such an important advan-
tage to US.
But some one must take the lead.
Now, who will draw up a call for
meeting, appointing time and place,
hand it around the business houses
for signatures, and bring it to the
TINES Office, where it will be pub
lished free of charge?
Who will do it? Some one must.
And, as it will cost nothing but an
hours time, there should be no hest
fancy about it. Why cannot one of
our hotel men do it? They would be
the first to benefit from a competing
railway.

Nut Bearing Trees.

1t is somewhat strange that among the
undeveloped industries of the State so
few persons have thought of investing
money in nut bearing trees, when it
could be made one of the most important
branches of horticulture, and unlike
most industries. is safe from the danger
of over production for at least a century.
Among nut bearing trees the filbert,
walnut and chestnut deserve special
notice, but the pecan is indeed the prince
of all-the most beautiful and symme-
trical, the most hardy and long lived, the
most popular and the most profitable.
No one industry in the horticultural line
will pay so large returns-not even the
famous orange groves of Florida. This
tree is not at all choice of soils-will
grow almost anywhere, on hill sides in
rocky places not suitable for cultivation,
or on high sandy ridges-but will grow
faster and larger if planted on mois!
fertile soil. Broad areas of land in our
State, now valueless to the owners, would
in short time, almost without expense,
yield immense profits if planted in pecan
trees. Surely it is time our people were
giving this industry attention, and every
farmer should have grove of stately
pecans-" the pride Of the neighborhood,
the admiration of the sojourners, the
fortune of its owner"

Where lie Learned it.

He was pretty little fellow, but it
vas his manners, not his looks, that
attracted everybody-clerks in the
stores, people in the horse-cars, men,
women and children. A boy four years
old who, if anybody said to him, Glow
do you do?" answered, 81 am we'll,
thanks" and if be had request to make,
be it of friend or stranger, began it with
".Please." And the beauty of it was that
the "thanks" and "please" were SO much
a matter of course to the child that he
never knew he was doing anything at all
noticeable. "How cunning it is" said a
snowy woman to his mother as they sat
at dinner at the public table of hotel
one day, "to hear that child thank the
walters and say please when he wants
anything. 1 never saw anything SO
sweet. My children have 10 be con.
stantly told if 1 want them to thank peo-
Pile. How we'll you must have taught
him, that he never forgeLs." "He has
always been accustomed to it," said the
mother. awe have always said Please
to him when we wished him to do any.
thing, and have thanked him. He
knows no other way. The snowy woman
looked as if she did not need any further
explanation of the way in which habits
are formed. Probably you do not.

Trick That a Good Little Boy Did.

Many years ago one of the most fa'
NOUS elephants that travelled in this
country was "Old Columbus" During
one of his summer trips through Vir.
ginia, he stopped at the town of D.
In the neighboring town of H, a
boy, familiarly called "Daye," and noto'
rious for leadership in all kinds Of mis-
cbievous tricks, determined to show of
before the others boys at "Old Colum.
bus's" expense, and invited several Of
his compsnions to 60 with him.
Having come to to the elephants sta
BILE, Dave gave him first candy, then
cake, and then, finally cried, "Now,
boys" and slipped piece Of tobacco in
his proboscis, intending to get out OF
danger and enjoy cold Columbus's" dis
gust and danger.
But before he could move Columbus
seized him and whirled him upward
through the opening overhead against
the roof of the stable.
Unburt by his unexpected "rise, u
Dave dropped on the hay NOW. The
other boys below, supposipg this to be
"the trick" promised them, cried out in
admiration
"Dave, Dave, do that again. J"
Dave, comfortably seated out of harms
way, very earnestly answered:
"No, boys! 1 only do that trick orce
day !"

Jay Gould.

Stories Of Jay Gould's physical in6rm-
tiles have Buddensiek foundation. He
never possessed the frame of an athelete,
but without it he has performed an
amount of work under which an athelcte
of the first class would have lain down
and been gathered to his forefathers long
ago. Big.framed men have attempted
ventures small in comparison with some
of Mr.. Gould's accomplishments and
been killed in the attempt.
His strong point is method. On
reaching his Office he knows exactly how
much of his time must be devoted to
routine business and engagements which
must be kept; the remainder is booked
for possible contingencies. His mental
organization is perfect machine. If
Mr.. Gould were in railroad smash.up
his first impulse would be to pull out his
watch and note the time. Ueis not ner-
7ous, but the hand of a man past middle
age, who works as he does, is never as
steady as rock.
Mr.. Gould has seen q great many
stronger and younger men than he is laid
away. To all appearances he will out
live many more.-N. Y. Sun.

of the PenitentIary Directors.

The Baord of Directors of the Peniten-
tiary held their regular monthly meeting
yesterday at II 0, clock A. M. at the insti-
tuition. The main business before the
Board at this time was the preparation of
the annual report to be made to the
Legislature and receiving from the Su.
perintendenth his annul report. The matter
of the purchase of land for State farm
to employ the convict labor at command
more advautageously came up, several
propositions being before the Board from
parties desiring to sell land to the State
for the purpose mentioned. No definite
action was taken, however, it being the
sense of the meeting that the matter
could be better acted upon at the next
regular meeting, which will be held the
last day Of the present month.
From member of the Board it was
learned that the condition of that insti.
tuition was satisfactory. 1t was also stat
ed in the report to the Legislature new
idea would be preached, in that while
previously it has been the custom for the
expenses of the Penitentiary to be paid
from its earnings, it will be recommended
that the Legislature grant certain sum
s100, 900, if so much be necessary, for the
support of the institution, all the earnings
thereform to be covered into the State
Treasury. This will show more clearly
just what the institution costs and what
its earnings are, and it is believed will
be in the line of economy. 1t is thought
that it has been self supporting the past
year with small margin on the right
side. There are still 400 of the 500 bales
oe cotton to be sold from the farms in
which the State has an interest.
Another new idea which seems to have
taken root in the minds of the members
of the Board as the result of their exper.
ience, is that 80 far as may be possible
the Penitentiary should employ the labor
of the convicts itself, that is, instead of
incurring the risk, expense, and constant
exposure to charges Of cruelty of leasing
convicts to railroad contractors, etc., for
sum not much beyond s75 to $500 a
year, the Board thinks better showing
and without the attendant disadvantages
Of the old system stated, by employing
the convicts at work on land owned by
the State and cultivated wholly in the
interest of the State and not on shares.
By this plan it is believed much of the
food materially required by the inmates
could be raised by their labor.
The loan of S25, 900 voted to the Peni-
Tertiary by the Legislature, and much of
which was required to pay losses by the
freshet, it is desired to have stand for
another year at Columbia Register,

A Girl In Prison for Life.

TRENTON, GA, Oct 3O.-There is q
girl named Leila Burgess serving life
term in the Dade County coal mines, the
story of whose crime is somewhat
strange. Her father, James Burgess,
lived near Martin, in the western part Of
of the State. He had two daughters, the
youngest of whom was Leila. About
three ears ago he joined the church, and
became regular church attendant. He
was panied to see that this his two
daughters, now grown to young woman.
hood, did not care to attend the religious
services with the regularity that he did,
and where all should have been concord
the bitterest kind of discord grew up.
After while Burgess told the girls that
a revival was about to open and that he
expected them to attend every service,
and if they did not there would be some
body to whip. For three mornings the
girls failed to appear at tie "sunrise"
meetings. On the fourth morning Bur-
CESS pulled the girls out of bed and
began to chastise one Of them severely.
When he had beaten her into submission
he began on the other. Leila, who was
the first one cbastised, slipped out of the
room, procured an axe, and with one
stroke buried the edge of it in her fath>
er's skull. The cash was FIVE inches
long and penetrated the brain half an
inch. Afterward the girl sat looking
sullenly at the dead body Of her father,
oblivious of the crowds which pressed in
to behold the scene of blood. She was
convicted of the highest grade Of man.
slaughter, and took her place among the
convicts uncomplainingly, merely saying
that she would commit the crime over
again before she would be compelled to
20 to church so early in the morning.

Travel in 1917 Versus 1856.

A magazine published in Philadelphia
in 1878 gave the following as an item OF
news:
'In the course of the twelve months
of 1917 10000 wagons passed the ALE.
ghany Mountains from Philadelphia and
Baltimore, each with from four TO six
horses, carrying from thirty-fve to forty
hundred weight. The cost Of carriage
was about 81 per hundred weight, in
some cases as high as $40, to Philadel-
phia. The aggregate sum paid for the
conveyance of goods exceeded $780,
OOO." To move a ton of freight between
Pittsburg aud Philadelphia therefore
cost not less than S14O, and took probably
two weeks time.
In 1856 the acreage amount received
by the Pennsylvania Railroad for the
carriage of freight was three quarters
cent per ton per mile. The distance from
Philadelphia to Pittsburg is 3S5 miles,
80 that the ton which cost S14O in 1917
was carried in 1856 fer S2.S7. At the
former time the workingmen in Phila-
delphia had to pay Sl4 for moving a bar,
rel of flour from Pittsburg, against 2S
cents now. The Pittsburg consumer
paid 81 freight upon every 100 pounds
of dry goods brought from Philadelphia,
which 100 pounds is now hauled in two
days at a cost of II centa.-New YORK.

during the night he was certain that he
was closely watched, but it was 8 o'clock
when masked horseman rode up, gave
the signal agreed upon, and turned the
buggy up lonely lane. The strange
visitor here left him, directing him to
drive on. At the end of another mile he
became aware that another wagon was
blocking the way. He paused. A
masked man promptly appeared and
brought forward bag to his buggy.
saying: "Here tits where's the money!"
"Where's the proof of identity ?" asked
the messenger, as the bag containing the
mortal remains of A. T. Stewart were
lifted into the buggy.
"Here," said the other, holding up an
irregular bit of velvet and opening a
BULBS eye lantern with click. The
piece was compared with bit of paper
Of the same shape which the New
Yorker had brought with him to this
lonely spot.
"Come, hurry up" was the command.
The messenger obeyed by producing
the money and the robbers retired few
feet and counted it by the light of their
lantern. Then they moved off to their
vehicle and the messenger of Mrs. Stew
art drove back the way he had come.
The next night freight car went out
to Garden City, containing nothing
except trunk, aid on it sat man who
had spent the previous night in the lone.
liest part of Westchester County. An
empty coffin had been already deposited
in the cathedral, and at the dead of night
two men transferred the bones from the
trunk. They then placed the coffin in
an inaccessible vault beneath the dome.
If any one should ever again touch
unbidden the vault which holds the
bones of the merchant millionaire, the
touch would release a hidden spring
which would ring the chimes in the
tower and send an instant alarm through
the town.

= An enterprising reporter has discov-
cred several colored millionaires in New
York and Brooklyn. One of the sup
posed nabobs threatened to institute q
suit for damages against any newspaper
which names him as millionaire, for he
mournfully declares that if it becomes
generally known that he is wealthy life
would become unbearable, because of
the many applications to endow colleges,
schools and churches for negroes, and to
assist less fortunate members of his race
